A research paper by Education Development Center, Inc. and the Boston Schoolyard Funders Collaborative
November, 2000
The Boston Schoolyard Funders Collaborative and Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC)
have produced the white paper “Schoolyard Learning: the Impact of School Grounds” to meet the needs of those interested in knowing more about the effect of schoolyard programs on academic learning and child development. Across the United States and in countries around the world there is growing recognition that outdoor education can play an important role in both formal and informal learning systems; and that school grounds offer an outdoor educational environment that is most immediately accessible to students on a daily basis.
